An earlier completed version of O Calpe, Mozart’s unfinished work about the Siege of Gibraltar, was performed in 1991

Sir, You reported (Oct
5) that Robin Willow’s arrangement of O Calpe, Mozart’s
unfinished work about the Siege of Gibraltar, would have its “world premiere
as a completed work”. An earlier completed version of Mozart’s work was
written by my father, Hector Placido Cortes, and William Gomez and performed
for the first time in 1991. They should be given due credit for being the
first musicians to take on and complete what Mozart only started.
